Gary War, “Born of Light” MP3

For a second there Gary War was a New York mainstay, playing careening sets of goth mumbling in every warehouse around. Then he disappeared for awhile, and we were left with a confounding set of records to decipher. Distant vocals and hypnotic chugging guitar are still the zone, but now Gary War and co. are significantly more cosmic, raising their music out of the New York winter muck and blasting it into outer space. Also: holy shit look at that cover art. The record is coming out soon on Sacred Bones
